Locating Part Numbers & Parts: A Guide

I’ve been around for a while now - haven’t been a “regular” in a few months but nonetheless I’ve noticed threads popping up to “name this part” or “What’s the part number for ‘X’”. This combined with my own recent headache I thought I would make a one-stop thread for finding those obscure part numbers with steps we can take to locate the parts we need.

My story:
Recently one of my front turn signals blew. No big deal right? Well, I’m running VLED switchbacks which means I had approximately 49,000 hours left before I could expect an LED failure – something else was the culprit. My discovery...

The base adapter:

The socket:

I’m assuming these sockets remain relatively moisture free when there is an actual bulb plugged in and attached to the housing. Since I was running an adapter to power the VLED module, the socket was unprotected and probably picking up moisture from Day 1.

The socket was definitely a goner as well as the wiring harness plug. As you might be able to tell from the picture - there is a pin missing on the DRL socket...this is because it is fused into the wiring harness plug at this point. Somehow no fuses blew and nothing caught on fire? :flame:

I started my search with Harper’s parts manual which should always be our first stop for us ’10-’13 guys. It may be useful for a majority of ’14 folks unless its been refreshed on your model.

The parts manual for the DRL assembly stops at the socket.

The entire wire harness is also available for purchase at the low-low price of ~$600 – but all I needed was the plug!

It turns out that Toyota makes it pretty difficult to locate wiring harness repair kits and several calls to our good friends at Toyota of Dallas parts department yielded few leads. My search took me from forums for Supras circa 1996 to more recent TTora entries but ultimately I had to piece together several different sources to get the answers I needed.

Each wiring harness plug should have a number molded into it, this one is: 11019

This part number is only for the actual plug housing – no wires or pins. And according to one of the best sources I located, that this is only the last 5 digits to the part number. The first five digits to any Toyota plug should always be “90980”.

So I had located the plug housing: “90980-11019”

This source helped me locate the rest of the missing parts:
TOYOTA 90980-11019, WIRE, SEAT, NO.2: Cart Part Info

The wire and pin: 82998-12590
The crimp joint: 82999-12030 (Nothing special here, you can get these anywhere)
The other part listed was for a terminal packing part no: 90980-09151 but that has been discontinued. From what I can tell it is already incorporated into the wire and pin so it is not needed.

Step 2: Identify the part numbers needed: Complete

There are plenty of places to order parts from, my favorite is simply Toyota of Dallas since I have worked with them previously and have always been happy both from their Parts Department and TRDparts4u.

Step 3: Order parts: Complete

This thread took me about a half hour to organize and post but this search took me several hours over the course of a few nights after work to figure out what the hell I needed. I've since received all the parts and spliced into the factory wiring harness and everything is all good. I’m not running the VLED switchbacks anymore simply because I don’t want to take the risk again. I’m sure I could do some things to waterproof everything or not use the socket/adapter to run my power but it isn't worth it to me.

Hope this helps some of you so you don’t need to go through the same BS I did if ever repairing a wiring harness. I'm sure this wasn't the only option and [MENTION=65614]Antman[/MENTION] could have fixed this in 10 mins using random parts in his garage but this option should keep you factory OEM!

My thought is we can use this thread going forward to ask questions about locating part numbers and find what you need quickly and efficiently! I will update Post #2 of this thread with direct links to useful information that hopefully finds its way here.
